My life’s been a great story In the ultimate war
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk Should I ill or do right? Make peace or go raw?—Ice-T,
“Exodus”
He’s a hip-hop icon credited with single-handedly creating gangsta
rap in the 1980s. Television viewers know him as Detective Odafin
“Fin” Tutuola on the top-rated TV drama Law Order:
SVU. But where the hype and the headlines end, the real story
of Ice-T—the one few of his millions of fans have ever heard—truly
begins.
Ice is Ice-T in his own words—raw, uncensored, and unafraid
to speak his mind. About his orphan upbringing on the gang-infested
streets of South Central Los Angeles. About his four-year stint in
the U.S. Army’s famed “Tropic Lightning” outfit. About his
successful career as a hustler and thief, the car crash that nearly
killed him, and the fateful decision to turn away from a life of
crime and forge his own path to international entertainment
stardom.
Ice by Ice-T is both a tell-it-like-it-is tale of redemption
and a star-studded tour of the pop culture firmament. The acclaimed
rapper and actor shares never-before-told stories about friends
like Tupac, Dick Wolf, Chris Rock, and an antler-clad Flavor Flav,
among others. Readers will ride along as Ice-T’s incendiary rock
band Body Count narrowly escapes from a riotous mob of angry
concertgoers in Milan, and listen in as the music legend battles
the self-appointed censors over his controversial “Cop Killer”
single.
Most of all, Ice is the place where one of the game’s most
opinionated players breaks down his own secret plan for living,
offering up candid observations on marriage and monogamy, the
current state of hip-hop, and his latest passion: doing one-on-one
gang interventions and mentoring at-risk youths around the
country.
With insights into the cutthroat world of the street—and the
cutthroat world of Hollywood—Ice is the inspirational story
of a true American original.
